[osg-users] Improving performances

[Julien Valentin]

Hi Ale
If I read you correctly,you're said to be gpu bound because of the huge amount of vertices to process.
You're also saying you're working with CAD representation (which  AFAIK have parametric representation(shape) )
I think the good approach is to keep your geometry parametric (shape) and update geometry parameter (and so on explicit geometry) based on viewer distance...

Hope it helps in some way:/
Cheers
